The 5th SEAGMA Scientific Meeting will be held in early 2020 in the old "tin city” of Ipoh. The first scientific meeting was held in charming city of Penang, while the second meeting was held in the modern city of Singapore. The city of Ipoh, capital of the state of Perak, is listed down in “Lonely Planet” as one of the Top Six must visit city in the world. In fact the state of Perak, is also listed down as one of the six must visit region of the world for 2017.
Ipoh has the charisma of the old world with its baroque railway station, the allure of the rich Sultanate dynasty, the charm of the “Kapitan Cina” and old tin mines , the huge Buddhist limestones caves, mixed in with the facilities and attractions of the modern world. A tourist haven famous for its friendly people and beautiful ladies, astounding aroma of the traditional “white coffee” and fabulously delicious food best experienced at the hustle bustle of the night markets.
The focus of SEAGMA Penang was on the application of guidelines in the treatment of patients with Functional GI diseases (FGID), while the second concentrated on the “microscopic features of FGID. SEAGMA Ipoh will look into the importance of the intestinal microbiome in the pathophysiology of functional GI Disorders and the genesis of GI symptoms. This will culminate in the first “ South East Asia consensus on Probiotics “ . In addition to this, there will be a myriad of other topics including Reflux Diseases, Functional Dyspepsia and IBS.
Towards this end, the Scientific Committee has worked tiredlessly to come up with an exceptionally novel and perceptive Scientific Programme. There will also be a special session for the General Practitioners. The scientific sessions will illustrate how the influence of science and innovation impact on the delivery of quality care to our patients.
All the scientific sessions will be vibrant and dynamic as our esteem and very knowledgeable invited faculties will keep us abreast with the latest in FGID guidelines and new therapeutic approaches. We will also try to update the delegates on the importance of ROME IV.
With so many scientific experts and key opinion leaders congregating in one place, there is a tremendous opportunity for the exchange of ideas and to learn from one another.
I bid you welcome and hope to see you soon in Ipoh.
Kind Regards.
Yours Truly
Dato Dr Andrew Chua - President SEAGMA
